T oall mh'nm z'tmoy concern.'

Be itknown that I', PHILIPP MoELLENmcx,

a subject offthe Emperor of Germany, resid'V other vessel, to which itis desired to apply it.

In carrying out my invention, l preferably employ a tapered' badiymember extendin between the top or platform of the stove an the burnerthereof, the walls of the body member being so inclinedes to permit theheated air within the chamber, inclosing the same, to expand and to bedirected upwardly against the bottom of a vessel placed above theaperture. v I also provide a lid or'cover, ada ted to fit within a.portion of the top of t e range, immediately above the burner, andthe'upper yend of the body member of the attachment, and-providedcentrally with an opening through which the heat may escape downwardl;lagainst the central portion of a vessel, and furthermore, in inwith thewalls tapered in the opposite direc A tion so as to direct the heat andthe flames to the desired point, all of which will be here" inafter moreparticularly described.

In the drawing, Figure 1 is a plan of my improved gas'stove attachment,and Fig. 2 is a central transverse section of the same showing a portionof the gas burner.

In the drawing, 10, indicates the body portion of my improved gas stoveattachment or gas saver. This is made of metal or other suitablematerial, and at its upper or outer end is suitably connected to the top12 ofthe gas range. This may be made, as illustrated, of any suitabledesign. At its lower end, the body portion 10 rests u on and extendsover a gas burner 11, whic may be of the form illustrated or of any welllmown type.

The top of the stove is provided, in suitable positions, with ribs 13,adapted to support a pott pan, or other vessel,in a position appreciablyspaced apartl from the major portion of the top of the stove, and thebody portion- 10 of the attachment is preferably l conical with theinner faces appreciably concave, so as to permit the air andl gaseswut-hin theattachmentv to expand and to be properlyy directed to thedesired points'.

llhelpnnts forming the-top of the stove adjacent their-attaclnnent tothe body portion l0, are recessed asindicabcd at 15, to receive a lidloucover 16, which may be placed with in, these recesses and supported by`a part of the top of the stove, so that when in position, the surfacesof the lil within the same are on substantially the same plane as themajor portion of the top of the stove. This lid mav be provided withalifter opening 1T, and is centrally provided with an opening and seriesof radially placed projections 19, with intervenin recesses 18, theformer to retain the hcat gram the burner and the latter to permit theescape of the heated gases therefrom. Also within the body member l0. insuitable positions, there are lugs Q1, adapted to support a deflector20. T his deflector is also preferably conical, and when in position thewalls thereof taper in the directionopposite to that of the walls of thebody member 10. At its upper or outer end, the deector 20 is alsoprovided with a series of radially placed projections QQ., withintervening recesses 23, and as' -cent surface of the lid or cover 16.These permit of the escape of the heated gases from the burner, afterthe same have been utilized.

It will be apparent that. depending upon the nature or character of thework to be done, the lid or cover, or the deflector or both thesemembers, may be dispensed with. When using the attachment with thecoverand without the deflector, the heated gases are distributed andretained within the confines of the body member, and the lid. beingdirected for the greater part through an opening in the lid against thecentral portion o the vessel being employed, a relatively small partonly passing through the apertures 24. When the del'lector, as well asthe lid, is employed, substantially all the heated gases are, directedimmediately through the' central portion of the vessel employed, andthis is the case, irrespective Y of whether or not the lid or cover isused simultaneously withthe deflector. lVhen both are used together, andthe projections and intervening recesses placed in a staggeredrelationship, distribution of the heated gases will be more even and theintensity of the same greater.

I claim as my invention- 1. A gas stove attachment comprising a conicalbody member, secured to and depending from the top of the gas stove andextending between the same and a gas burner therein, a lid supportedupon the top of the gas stove in a position immediately above but spacedapart from the outer end of the said body member, and a defiector withinthe said body member with the walls thereof inclined in the oppositedirection.

2. A as stove attachment comprising a conical ody member secured at itsouter end to the top of a gas stove and extendin between the same and aas burner thereo a central apertured lid aving a series of radiallyplaced lugs and intervening recesses set in the top of the gas stoveimmediately above and in a position spaced apart from the outer end ofthe said conical body member', and a delector havin in its outer end aseries of radially place lugs with intervening recesses placed withinthe said conical body member in such aposition that the lugs andrecesses thereof are in a staggered relationship to the lugs andrecesses in the lid.
